_ Bar Harbor's prettiest and most popular young socialite, Melanie, finds out on her nineteenth birthday that she has inherited a new life as the ruler of a hidden, mystical world - whether she wants it or not.

Bob, the British-speaking unearthly gnome who drives the taxi she takes to get back home after her birthday bash, has the daunting task of convincing her that she is adopted and has an entirely different ancestry than what she has always believed. Tianna is the name given to her by her birth mother - a fairy - and birth father - a vampire - ultimately setting her apart as a rather unique species. Intriguing new powers, unwelcome changes to her body, and new supernatural friends who don't entirely share her love for designer shoes or wild parties leave her in complete bewilderment and denial.

As though her situation isn't extraordinary enough, she also finds out she has a twin brother - one who is only too willing to do battle with her both in wit and for the kingdom he believes is his - and there's no doubt about it: he wants her dead.

Will she put down the shopping bags long enough to learn how to accept her new role as Queen of the "Freaks" AND figure out her magical powers before her brother succeeds with his plan? The survival of her new world depends on it.
